Blitzxz rolled 6-2, next 5/off and 2/off

Forum has 1-1 to move, hard to see if there is a best move - so you can choose..

I like 7/4, 7/6, because it gives more chances that we can cover that 2, should we be lucky enough to get a hit.

I thought 7/6 7/5 gave more chances to cover the 2.

The option is 7/6 (2), 7/5,,,that gives you two spares on the 6 and one on the 5...
7/4, 7/6 gives a spare on the 7, the 6 and the 4.....

Our only hope is to hang around and get a shot, so we have to make sure we can play big numbers without leaving his home board.  6/2 seems as good as any, although I don't like playing off the six.

The checker play doesn't much matter as long as you don't "pull a Green" and play something stupid like 6/2.

as long as you don't "pull a Green" and play something stupid

I resent that - and thought Australias performance might have deflected attention away from that awful moment....

Can you imagine putting him in the net against Germany  to any hope at all...
